In the imperial garden surrounded by flowers, bamboo, orchid, bamboo and plum blossoms were running around in panic, as if they were looking for someone. A palace maid approached and said anxiously, "Sister Zhulan, rockery."
There is no sign of His Royal Highness there."
"What should we do? The sunset is about to set, and His Highness's birthday banquet is about to begin. Why is there suddenly no sign of His Highness?" Zhumei frowned, and there was a hazy look in her eyes. As she spoke, her eyes
I kept looking around, afraid of missing anything.
Zhulan said: "Zhumei, go and tell the Empress." Then she said to the palace maid, "Go look for it again, be sure to be careful and don't miss any information."
"Yes——." The palace maid turned around and left, walking eagerly on the flower path paved with blue pebbles.
The setting sun in the sky is like blood, and the bright red light dyes the calm lake surface with its color. Willow ribbons brush against the shore, clearly reflecting the emerald green figure. A few birds stop and go, causing the trembling willow branches to
The reflection also trembled.
In the octagonal pavilion, the empress is dressed in a nirvana white gauze dress with light smoke and flowers. She holds a light pink gauze in her hands. Her skin is like jade and her breath is like an orchid. She carries a jasper phoenix hairpin in her hair.
The slender posture on the chair is full of elegance and luxury.
The woman chatting with her on one side was wearing a brocade dress and a skirt. Her beautiful face reflected the joy and hesitation of being a mother. She was holding a baby in her arms. The baby was only half a year old. The Queen Mother had just finished her words and was about to say something.
But he saw the empress's personal maid running over, and then he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said in a somewhat urgent tone: "This slave deserves to die, please forgive me."
Shouldn't Zhumei be with Yun'er at this moment? Why did she come here to plead guilty for no reason? It was probably Yun'er who caused the trouble again. "You got up first. What's making you so fussy?"
Zhumei didn't dare, and still knelt on the ground, and said in panic: "Returning to your Majesty, I was waiting for His Highness to change clothes just now, but when I wasn't paying attention, His Highness ran out from Yunran Palace. I thought it was very strange.
I was able to find His Highness soon, so I had the courage to hide this matter, but I have already asked people to search all the places where Your Highness usually goes, but there is no sign of His Highness. Please forgive me."
Yun'er has disappeared? Since there is no one in the place where he usually goes, where will he go? Thinking of the fact that he came to find me last night, it became clear in his heart, and then he curled up his lips and smiled helplessly, "His Highness is wearing all his clothes."
alright?"
Zhumei's jaw was determined, "I have all my clothes on, except that the jade pendant that symbolizes His Highness's status is not tied around my waist."
"Get up and tell Zhulan to stop looking for her." Fengning stood up and said with a smile. The golden sunset filled her with the light of confidence.
"Your Majesty, you have something to do. Please leave first." Nie Qin said as he leaned forward. The whole Yushuo and the families of the courtiers were looking forward to seeing the Empress, but this honor was always given to the Empress.
Left to her.
"Okay, you go."
"Yes, I will retire."
As soon as Nie Qin left with the maid, Zhumei looked at the Emperor and Empress, and called out anxiously, "Empress, the sun is about to set."
"You go ahead."
"Yes, empress——."
Zhumei left without knowing why. She spent more time with His Highness than the Empress. Could it be that she didn’t know where His Highness loved to go? But if the Empress didn’t know, how could she show such a confident look?
Zi Cangyun turned three years old today. In addition to being handsome at a young age, his weird temper was also inherited from the emperor. Last night, while his father was still in the imperial study, he ran to Qi Yu Palace to find his mother.
He was probably dissatisfied with the Chen banquet held for him today. Despite his young age, when he got angry, his frown was exactly the same as his father's.
For his Chen Banquet, the Ministry of Rites had started preparations three months ago. How could it be canceled just because he was not happy? Feng Ning took her skirt up to the winding corridor. Feng Ning did not go there to look for it, but walked towards the imperial study room.
direction--.
A moment later, the imperial study room was already in sight. Lin Yun stood respectfully at the door. On both sides were the mighty imperial forest guards. In the open courtyard outside the imperial study room, a small figure stood impressively. He couldn't help but smile softly.
, he knew that he would appear here and he could not get the answer, so his father's place was his only hope, but Feng Ning just couldn't understand, don't all children like fun? But why was he different?
Woolen cloth?
"Yun'er——." A soft call made Xiao Cangyun look back, but the next moment he was still staring at the door of the imperial study.
"See the Empress."
Everyone said hello, Feng Ning rolled up her sleeves and asked Lin Yun, "Why don't you let His Highness in?"
Lin Yun put on a faint smile, stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "I have already reported back to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is handling state affairs and has told His Highness to wait here later."
He knelt down in front of Cang Yun and looked at someone's replica with smiling eyes. That aggrieved little face was so cute, "Yun'er, your father is hosting a banquet for you. You should be happy. Why are you still angry?"
"
The person in front of him was his mother. From the time he could remember, his mother's gentle embrace and kind words made him feel at ease. However, he didn't understand why his father's face turned ugly when he saw him and his mother together.
Is it because the queen is too beautiful and his father doesn't like him to be close to her? Or is it because the father hates himself and doesn't want to see him and the queen together? Or is it that he can only like one and the other, and he chooses to like the queen and hate himself?
?
Zhulan said that he must learn to please his father, but he couldn't learn it, and he didn't want to learn it. But now, no matter what he had just thought about, for the purpose of coming here, he
They all need to stay away from their mother, even if it's just for a short while.
He slowly took two steps back and shook his head gently. His mother treated him so well that he couldn't bear to say anything that would make her angry. His eyes focused on the crimson carved door again.
Doubtful, Yun'er suddenly distanced herself from her. Fengning sighed helplessly, stood up, and approached him again, "Let's go, my father may not agree to something that my mother doesn't agree to. As Yun'er, as the prince,
Don’t be so willful.”
There was a hint of seriousness in the mother's words, which made little Cang Yun close his eyes in surprise. Maybe the mother was really angry this time, "But that banquet was too troublesome, and I don't want to see those people."
Feng Ning didn't know how Cang Yun learned the word trouble, but she just felt that if she didn't take some measures, she would help another Zi Yu Qi. She quickly thought about ways in her mind, and then she curved her lips and smiled softly, "
Just like this, if Yun'er is willing to attend your birthday banquet tonight, the Queen Mother will take you out of the palace to play tomorrow." In the past world, adults would always use things that children could not get in exchange for children's submission and compromise.
It can be regarded as the first transaction in a child's life. Unexpectedly, she also used it today.
Xiao Cangyun looked hesitant when he heard this. When he was in Taiyuan University, he had heard how wonderful the world outside the palace was. He remembered it and only yearned for it. He once asked Zhulan if he could go out of the palace to see it, but Zhulan
Lan Que said, "My master is the Crown Prince of Yushuo, and his safety is at stake for thousands of people.
"The outside world is not suitable for Your Highness." He knew what a prince was. This was taught by Taifu Nalan as his grandfather, but he didn't understand that the safety of thousands of people was at stake. He would naturally understand what Zhulan said.
I mentioned it to my mother, but the words came to my lips several times and I swallowed them.
"Can Queen Mother keep her word?"
The sweet and slightly joyful child's voice was full of endless yearning and expectation. When Feng Ning heard it, she felt inexplicably that she was playing into her heart. She couldn't help but chuckle, "The Queen Mother means what she says."
"What did you allow him? But it was also a willful thing?"
Looking back suddenly, I saw the evil and handsome emperor stepping across the high threshold. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him instantly, imbuing him with a thin layer of brilliance. The strong kingly power instantly overflowed, and the evil spirit spread across his body.
The beautiful outline outlines the deep restraint and composure, and a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient pool reveal an unpredictable and unpredictable danger.
Feng Ning smiled softly, her moon-like curved eyebrows carrying a few wisps of tenderness, and met his steps. The belt under the imperial crown was swaying gently in the wind, "Nothing, Yun'er's Chen Banquet has almost started, hurry up.
stop."
How could it be okay for two people to appear here at the same time? His eyes were half closed, and his sharp light was directed towards Cang Yun without any scruples. Xiao Cang Yun's expression was stagnant, and then he turned away. Now he had to admit that he
In awe of his father, this man who had been lukewarm since he was younger always seemed to have a certain amount of hostility towards him.
Feng Ning stood in front of Cang Yun, stared helplessly at the emperor and said, "You look at him like this again, aren't you afraid of making him cry?"
Crying? Zi Yuqi restrained her frightening aura, instantly pulled Feng Ning into her arms, held her slender waist tightly in an ambiguous manner, and said with a faint smile, "Is Ning'er lucky enough to see Yun'er cry?"
Whether it is the maids or palace attendants in the palace, they all call it a miracle that His Majesty has doted on the Emperor and Empress for several years. However, after a long time, this miracle has become accustomed to it and is not surprising. At this time, His Majesty seems to be no one else.
Holding the empress in his arms, the inches of distance and the ambiguous posture full of temptations all make people daydream and imagine.
Lian Zhulan had never seen him cry before, and she had never seen him cry before. What she blurted out just now was just an unintentional act. Now when he asked about it, he really didn't know how to answer, "Ning'er has never seen him cry, but Ning'er has never seen him cry before.
If Your Majesty doesn't go to the banquet now, aren't you afraid that those ministers will bring trouble to the ancestral system again?"
She sighed helplessly. She always seemed to have the ability to change the topic unintentionally, but she was unable to refute. She let go, and Ning'er's breath gradually went away. When she thought of something, she raised her handsome eyebrows in vain, "Ning'er,
Are there any old friends at today's banquet that you haven't seen for a few years? Don't you want to go and see them?"
